Normal Size of Weed Seeds

Discussion in 'General' started by Eyes, Sep 7, 2006.

  1. Well?
    I picked up an 8th, just pre rolled it and while I was picking it up I filtered out the seeds. I was a bit disappointed, but I saw it as an opportunity to grow. What're the size of healthy seeds, as I'm wondering if I could grow with them?
    P.S. Normally I don't get this kind of weed but this was a one-off
     
  2. I think they're normally around the same size.

    I hear the tiger striped kinda ones are the ones you should look for, the pale dead/looking ones are bad.

    But don't take my word for it.
     
  3. The seeds can vay quite a lot in size, for instance I got a packet of Bob Marley's best from HQ seeds this morning and theyre quite small compared to the Blueberry seeds I have, the Blueberry are nearly twice as big

    As Opivy says the best seeds are usually very dark and striped/spotted, a good way to test seeds is to drop them in a glass of water, seeds that do not submerge at all when dropped (not placed) in the water can be thrown away and seeds that touch the bottom of the glass are to be prized as it means that the seed itself is very full and will therefore produce a stronger plant

  4. Make sure you give em a little tap before you discard the floaters. Good seeds often stay floating even after 24 hours in the glass and require the tap to sink. After that... then discard the floaters.
     
  5. If it is just the bagseed you want to try, then put them all in a wet paper towel for a day or so and they will prolly sprout, I mean you will find out very easily if they r bad, they won't sprout the tap. Good luck, and as for the size, I came accross a really big seed in a sack of beasters(the only seed in the whole half O.) No clue why it was bigger but it is still growing right now and seems to be a great bud, I'll let you know when I harvest. Good luck with the "might grow" :D JOE>
     
  6. Thats why I said Dropped because I've found that if they do not go under the surface at all then they are no good.
